Aiper has used CES 2026 to outline its vision for a fully connected outdoor environment, unveiling a smart yard ecosystem built around cognitive AI, robotics and water management. The company, recognised by Euromonitor International as the world’s number one smart robotic pool cleaner brand by sales volume, says its latest technology is designed to make pool and garden care largely hands-free while reducing water and energy use.
At the centre of Aiper’s showcase are two CES 2026 Innovation Award Honorees, the Scuba V3 Ultra robotic pool cleaner and the EcoSurfer Senti solar skimmer. This marks the fourth year in a row the brand has received recognition from the Consumer Technology Association for design and engineering innovation. Together with smart irrigation and water quality tools, these products form the backbone of Aiper’s expanding AI-powered outdoor ecosystem.
The Scuba V3 Series introduces a new generation of robotic pool cleaners powered by Aiper’s cognitive AI Navium technology. The range includes the Scuba V3, Scuba V3 Pro and Scuba V3 Ultra, all designed to analyse a pool’s size, shape, usage patterns and even weather conditions to optimise cleaning routes, frequency and suction strength. The aim is a true set-and-forget experience that keeps pools clear with minimal user input.
The standard Scuba V3 is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2026 with an expected price of approximately $A1,650, while the Scuba V3 Ultra is due in spring 2026 at approximately $A3,450. Pricing and timing for the Scuba V3 Pro will be confirmed later.
Alongside the Scuba range, Aiper previewed its most advanced concept yet, an Autonomous Pool Robot that removes almost all manual involvement. This system supports onshore self-cleaning and self-recharging and uses a unified multi-sensor AI perception platform that combines sonar and other sensors to deliver full 360-degree awareness. The robot can navigate both underwater and on the surface with no blind spots, then return precisely to its charging station. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
Aiper is also expanding beyond pool care with the IrriSense 2 smart irrigation system, described as the world’s first four-in-one multi-zone solution. It combines a controller, sprinklers, electric valve and nutrient feeder into a single system that can be managed through an app. Users can create up to 10 customised watering zones, track water usage in real time and rely on weather-responsive automation to adjust schedules automatically. Aiper says the system can cut water consumption by up to 40 per cent while maintaining healthy lawns and gardens. IrriSense 2 is expected to launch in February 2026 at approximately $A750 .
Water quality management is handled by the EcoSurfer Senti, a solar-powered pool skimmer that pairs AI-driven surface cleaning with continuous monitoring. By proactively removing debris and tracking water conditions, the system aims to reduce chemical use and maintenance effort. The EcoSurfer Senti is planned for release in spring 2026 with an estimated price of $A1,200.
Aiper officially presented its expanded smart yard ecosystem during a CES launch event on January 7, featuring live demonstrations and a keynote from HGTV personality and outdoor living expert Chip Wade. With AI at the core of its strategy, Aiper says it is working towards a future where outdoor spaces are easier to manage, more sustainable and genuinely carefree for homeowners.
